My husband and I have loved Drover ever since we stepped foot on the property a couple of years back. We recently had our wedding at Hotel Drover, and we could not have been happier with how it went. If we could get married there every year, we would! The wedding planning process and day-of were perfect and was everything we could have hoped for and more. Ashley and Hunter were our contacts throughout the process and they both were an absolute delight and could not have made our experience any better. I think your staff is a reflection of your business and property and those two could not have represented Hotel Drover any better. Ashley was our contact in the beginning stages and even gave us a list of the Hotel’s preferred wedding planners. We are so grateful she did that because we found our wedding planner, Rachel Giles, and she changed our lives and will be one of our friends forever now. Hunter was our main contact from beginning to end. She was always patient and kind to us whenever we came to her with questions or problems. We appreciated Hunter’s communication throughout the whole process because it truly made everything so easy leading up to the wedding. The day of our wedding was a dream and it all started with the staff and their well wishes and attentiveness. From the servers, to the bar tenders, to the kitchen and everyone in between, we could not have done it without them. Almost every guest came up to us and said it was the best wedding that they had ever attended. They could not stop talking about the property, ambiance, food, drinks and service. One of the most thoughtful parts was a staff member, who we think was named Rebecca, immediately coming up to us after the ceremony with tray of drinks for us to pick from. She even was waiting for us at cocktail hour with hors d’oeuvres so we wouldn’t miss out them. It truly made our day so much more special because the food and drinks we had selected was one of the things we were looking forward to most. We cannot thank the staff at Drover enough for all of their patience and help. Our wedding was the best day of our life, and we wish we could do it over and over again. I also want to mention that we and good amount of our guests stayed at Drover during our wedding weekend, and the feedback was what we thought it would be. Hotel Drover is the best hotel our guests have ever stayed in, and that’s saying a lot because we have people who travel and vacation often. The Drover Suite was stunning and an experience i’m so glad we were able to have. The details in the suite and around the hotel are what makes it so special and a place we will always come back to. The staff is second to none, and truly are so helpful and kind to everyone. The food and drinks are exceptional. We have not had one meal at 97 West or one drink at the hotel that we didn’t absolutely love. Saying we love Hotel Drover is an understatement. It’s safe to say that it’s even almost like a second home to us… So much so that we’re currently looking to move to Fort Worth just so we can be close and be able to visit whenever we want. We will never be able to describe the impact Hotel Drover has had on us, and we would tell anyone who is looking to stay, get married or have an event there to do it in a heartbeat because they won’t regret it. It’s the best thing we ever did.

My husband and I have always loved Hotel Drover and we knew when we considered it as a venue and finally made the walk through that there was no other option to have our wedding reception. We chose legacy hall for the reception as the barn was already booked and it was honestly even better than I could have imagined, having the patios on both ends of the hall was so fun for people to go and get fresh air and look out at the property or the stockyards during the reception was so fun. There was plenty of room for all of our guests and dance floor. It was absolute perfection. Jackie and Hunter were our contacts throughout the process and I couldn't have asked for better girls to help make our day as perfect as it was. From the minute we signed the contract to the last second of our reception everything was incredible. The food is still talked about by our guests to this day, 100000/10. We booked the vice presidential suite for the weekend and the bridal party got ready there. Plenty of room for all of us and SO STUNNING. After the wedding the room had been picked up with champagne left for us to enjoy as a late night treat! I cannot say enough good things about Hotel Drover and I will never ever be able to thank the girls and the staff enough for making our day absolutely magical. Worth EVERY penny!!!!!

We held our daughter’s wedding reception at The Drover in Ft. Worth. The venue was beautiful, food outstanding, the staff professional and on top of everything. My daughter was so happy with how it all turned out . My husband and I were so pleased we chose The Drover! More than half our guests came from other parts of the country Midwest & East, and loved the venue, with a unique Texas vibe but still gave us an elegant wedding.

WOW. WOW. WOW. Everything about Hotel Drover was PERFECTION from top to bottom! My husband and I had our reception there in January and we are still hearing how amazing Hotel Drover was from all of our guests. I am Celiac, so as the Bride, it was very important to me that I would be able to eat and drink anything the guests were eating at my wedding. They were so incredibly accommodating to me and every guest that also had a dietary restriction. You would have never known that our entire dinner was completely gluten free! They even waived our cake cutting fee since we brought in a small GF cake just for me and my husband. The setup was just as I had envisioned it to be! Megan was so wonderful and helpful when it came to any contract questions and helping us book our room block. I could write forever about how amazing Hotel Drover was for our wedding celebration. 10/10 and all the gold stars possible!!

Loved having our Wedding Welcome Dinner & Drinks at Hotel Drover! We had reserved the Vaquero Room for our 40-person Welcome Dinner, then drinks afterward downstairs at the Veranda Bar to welcome all out of town guests. It was so amazing and beautiful, and really set the tone for our Texas western wedding weekend! Ashley was so attentive and easy to work with on all the catering and room reservation needs, especially in the week leading up to our event. Everything flowed beatifically, we could not have asked for a better experience. The pricing was also very similar to what we were going to pay to rent out a smaller, favorite coffee shop of ours - to do the same price and get to use the amenities of the whole Hotel Drover was definitely worth the switch from our more intimate setting originally planned!

Megan was incredible in planning our perfect day! I would not have changed a single thing. The entire team at Drover worked so hard to go above and beyond on every single detail. I am so sad our day is over but so grateful for the incredible memories Hotel Drover created for us.

Megan and the whole team were THE best. We had rain the whole week and day of the wedding. They accommodated us perfectly and handled every detail flawlessly. Multiple guests told my mom how this was the best wedding food they have ever ate! My day was perfect and it was largely due to how amazing the staff and hotel were!

Hotel Drover completely exceeded all my expectations for our wedding day. The venue was absolutely spectacular, and the service was amazing. Megan was amazing to work with throughout the whole process and took a lot of stress off my shoulders. She helped bring our day to life and I could never thank her enough. The only thing I would have changed is to put on the invitation to allow for extra time for valet parking. Because the valet was so backed up my ceremony was delayed 30 minutes and we did not get that time back at the end of the night. Other than that everything was perfect. I would recommend the Drover 1000x over!

This is what dreams are made up. The Drover has a special place in our heart, so deciding this to be our wedding venue was an easy decision! Jackie Logue made every step simple & perfect. Every last detail and every staff member from catering, bar & service was exquisite. Angelica “Ange” was our head of service for my husband and myself. She was so kind, caring and attentive! I rave about her every chance I can. We are so blessed to have had our wedding there. It was beyond our wildest dreams! Thank you Hotel Drover!
